Treadmills

When you think of it treadmills are kind of a funny thing.  You run to no where.  But for some reason I really like it.  I like to know how far I have gone, how fast and just how many calories I have burned and watching the t.v helps too.  I have decided to really challenge myself with cardio lately.  This is really silly, but I imagine what some of the people on biggest loser go through and somehow it makes me want to kick it in to gear.  I have a new rule for myself that no matter how winded I get, I cannot walk.  I have to at least slow jog.  So today I wanted to see how fast I could run.  I ran for a few minutes at 8.5 which is more than I have done before.  I was surprised to find out that it wasn't so difficult after all.  So my next goal on the treadmill is to go 3 miles running at least at 5.5.  Oh, and instead of pushing the up button when it asks for your weight so it can calculate your calories, I want to use the down button!
